Banggood. Safe?
PerranOak:
I'm about to buy on Banggood. Do people think that it's safe to use a credit card, generally?
Bud:
I bought several times there, everything was fine.
janoc:
Banggood is a fairly safe and reputable company. Never had a problem. I believe Banggood accepts also Paypal, so you don't need to give them your credit card info if you don't want to. Otherwise check with your bank - some do offer virtual credit cards where you get a card number that is only usable once for each purchase. So even if an unscrupulous seller tries to scam you, you are protected without having to resort to chargebacks and filing claims with your bank and what not.
OTOH, it is always prudent to keep your transactions to an amount you can afford to lose because sorting out an eventual complaint (not only about credit cards) can be quite an odyssey with these companies.

It is safe. Bought many things from there. However, I always used Paypal. I don't trust sending my credit card info.

I used them several times.
Always got the ordered item but it usually takes time for the stuff to arrive. This is not unexpected.
Always used PayPal. If PayPal is not available I pass and go check elsewhere, same with Alibaba and such.
Some prices are pretty good but you might find the same item on ebay for much less. Worth checking.
